Other details:

 

First time specing out a system, would love to hear some thoughts. It's for my local church to run ProPresenter (basically PowerPoint on steroids), mostly CPU based with GPU to display 2 "big boi" projectors. We're upgrading our old system cause the CPU couldn't handle it but the 1660 chilled around 25% so we're just gonna move it to the new build and upgrade when things are sensible.

 

Getting the right motherboard is a big black hole for me, any input there is appreciated. Trying to keep it around $1,000 but can push the price a bit to balance out a really solid CPU. Do I just suck it up and go prebuilt? Thanks y'all!

the church might appreciate the warranty and customer service perhaps?

And even better, go for a business line (like Dell's precision line) where you get some actual knowledgeable technical support if things go sideways

Where will this PC be located? If this will be somewhere in the main worship area, one consideration is how loud the fan noise might be during the preaching...

 

I second Moonzy's recommendation, and with a system this nice, I would also make sure it is secure so that no one could open the system and grab parts or just take the whole PC
